Tony Bennett - The Good Things In Life (1972) - VINYL - 24-bit/96kHz plus CD-compatible format

A fine set. In 1972, yes, this would sound dated, but funny, 35 years later it sounds just fine. Some really nice work throughout, unexpected delights around every corner. Some especially some fine bass work on "Mimi".

Not available on CD AFAIK, an LP rip exists on another tracker, but it's amped up way too high (google it). I kept buying this every time I came across it, because you never know which one will sound "good enough". Then I found this autographed DJ promo. And it played better than the one I had already ripped.

That's right, mofos: AUTOGRAPHED.
